The King's Royal Regiment of New York

The largest Loyalist Corps in the Northern Department during the American Revolution, the King's Royal Regiment of New York was raised on June 19, 1776 under the command of Sir John Johnson. Originally composed of one battalion with ten companies, it was authorized to add a second battalion in 1870. The regiment known as "Royal Yorkers" participated in the bitter war fought on the colonial frontier. It conducted raids against settlements in New York and was also employed in garrison duty. When active campaigning ceased in 1783, the regiment assumed various responsibilities, notably the establishment of a base here in preparation for the settlement of the Loyalists. It was then fully disbanded, its officers and men settling near new Johnstown (Cornwall) and in the Cataraqui townships.
